Traveling Wilburys
a happy accident

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) The true
legend of the Traveling Wilburys
began when George Har . er,
Nelson Wilbury needed to record an
extra song at short notice and invited
two of his dinner companions to lend

Nine days and 10 songs later, the
result was one of those happy atci

music business than accountants and

states,

You won't find the names George
Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison,
Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne on Volume
One, the debut album by the oddly
named Traveling Wilburys. But the
dark gl and pseudonyms can't
hide those talents.

“We definitely didn’
this like a supergroup,” said Petty,
Charles T. Wilbury Jr. “I don't even
like the term all that much, But we
were aware that it would be viewed
as such. We look at the Wilburys as a

selves.”

Harrison mentioned to Lynne and
Orbison over dinner last spring that
he needed a new B-side for a 12-inch
single release. The two said they'd
help.

The former Beatle had to retrieve
his guitar, which he'd left at Petty’s
California house during a visit a few
days earlier, Petty said. The lead
Heartbreaker was also asked to join
in on the record.

SEEK FACILITIES

Since all the nearby studios were
booked, the three amigos imposed on
another friend who had recording
facilities in his house. Dylan said he'd
be glad to offer his assistance.

“We all sat around the grass at
Bob's -house and wrote this song
called Handle With Care and record-
ed it that night,” Petty recalled.
“When it was all done it sounded
really good.”

Much too good, they thought, for a
B-side. So they kept on writing and
recording.

‘It was a very innocent thing,
really,” Petty said. “We were just
kind of enjoying it and we were
deep into it before we realized almost
what we were doing.”

That spontaneity, and a lot of
humor, comes through on the record.
Volume One sounds like a group of
friends, albeit extremely talented
friends, having a good time. All five
trade lead and backing vocals and
strum guitars.

The results are a cross between
Harrison's early ‘70s solo work and
the electronic flourishes Lynne
brought to the Electric Light Orche.

is in the vein he's mined for a
quarter-century and the three songs

work in years.

All-news channel
due in February

OTTAWA (CP) The CBC's
all-news cable television channel will
hit the airwaves Feb. 15, says Joan
Donaldson, CBC's head of all-news.

Mid-February is the earliest pos
sible date the 24-hour news and
information channel could begin,
Donaldson said, given the delays
CBC has faced since the channel was
approved by the federal broadcast
regulator a year ago.

“The time on our licence is ticking
away as we speak,” she said. “I would

like to use as much of that
years as we can.”

The Canadian Radio-television and
Tel ations ®
granted CBC a three-year licence to
run the channel with a starting date
of Sept. 1.

But Allarcom Ltd., the losing bid.
der for the all-news licence, appealed
the decision to the federal cabinet.
On the advice of Flora MacDonald,
communications minister before the
election, CBC found private sector

three

involvement in the channel and
cabinet gave official approval to the
CBC's plans Nov. 1.

The planned operating budget is
$19.2 million for the first year with
revenue coming from $4.4 million in
advertising and $14.8 million from
cable subscriber fees.

“We can't afford to‘delay because
we don't have the money to doa lot of
dry runs and a lot of program piloting
and that sort of thing that one would
normally do,” said Donaldson.

CHRISTMAS TREES . . . Hob!

Hill pre-school children and teachers

Tree sale begins

By JOHN CHARTERS

Last Saturday the Castlegar Ro-
tary Club began its annual Christmas
tree sale held as always in the West
Kootenay Power storage lot, cour-
tesy of the company.

On Monday afternoon the Hobbit
Hill pre-school children and their
teachers went down to the West

Kootenay Power lot to select their
two free Christmas trees. These
were then delivered to the school and
will be decorated for the seasonal
festivities.

Proceeds from the sale are re-
turned directly to communities and
the club once again recognizes the
valuable contribution of the West

sale in the West Kootenay Power storage lot.

Since most of the Rotarians work
during the week, there is a problem
in maintaining a daytime service for
the sales. Anyone who would like to
volunteer an hour or two to this
community project is asked to call
Lorne Trickey, the project chairman.

Rabbits destroying land

By BRIAN TIMMS

CANBERRA (REUTER) — Aus-
tralia is at war with 170 million
rabbits nibbling their way at great
expense across vast tracts of land.

Scientists say that unless drastic
measures are taken the rabbits —
descendants of animals brought from
Britain two centuries ago — could
help turn some arid areas into dust
bowls.

“A colossal amount of soil damage
has been done to inland arid areas
due to a combination of droughts and
grazing by sheep and rabbits,”
Bernard Fennessy, an Australian
government scientists, said in an
interview.

Fennessy doesn't expect the rabbit
population to reach the disastrous
plague level of the some 600 million
animals of 40 years ago, but “We are
facing a big challenge in the arid
areas.”

KILLED BY VIRUS

The plague was stopped in its
burrows by myxomatosis, a man.
made disease which in 1951 wiped
out about 99 per cent of the rabbit
population.

But less virulent strains of the

Court to
decide

OTTAWA (CP) — The Supreme
Court of Canada will deliver its
judgment Dec. 15 on controversial
provisions of Quebec's language law
that ban the use of English in com.
mercial signs.

The afmouncement by the court
came more than a year after seven
judges heard arguments in the polit-
ically sensitive case.

Since then three judges have re-
tired. And there was speculation
that one or two more may leave early
next year — a development that
would have deprived the court of a
quorum and forced a rehearing of the
entire case.

myxoma virus have developed and
rabbits have built up an immunity so
that now only 60 per cent die if they
catch the disease, scientists say.

Scientists estimate that 16 rabbits
can eat as much as one sheep, so
rabbits could be eating as much in
Australia as nearly 11 million sheep
based on a current rabbit population
of 170 million.

“If it was economically desirable
and physically possible to eradicate
all Australia’s rabbits, the increase in
agricultural production would be
worth $70 million,” said Noel Flavel,
an Australian government econ.
omist.

However, pouring millions of doll.
ars into a total eradication program
is not viable. “Miss two rabbits and
soon we would be back where we
started,” Flavel said

COMBINED ATTACK

To control the rabbits, Australia is
concentrating on a mixture of chemi.
cal, biological and germ warfare. The
anfmals are spread across the
southern third of the country; they
do not stray much further north
because the hotter climate is unsuit:
able for their breeding pattern.

Scientists are working on: more
virulent strains of myxoma virus and
examining a type of European rabbit
flea that can transmit the virus and
survive in drought.

The rabbit war is currently fought

with a poison labelled 1080, and by
the destruction of rabbit warrens
with dynamite and bulldozers trail
ing spiked plows.

But in the more remote areas
where sheep are far fewer due to
drought, rabbits are taking over
again because of a dwindling human
population and less effective myxo-
matosis.

“You could have one man now on
100,000 acres,” said Fennessy.

“He is too busy looking after the
sheep and water bores to kill rabbits.
He accepts them as part of life.”

Land values in the arid areas are
also so low it is not worth killing the
rabbits, so native plants are being
destroyed and the soil opened up and
turned to dust by the animals.
